HC Deb 29 July 1913 vol 56 c287
39. Colonel BURN

asked whether the Board of Trade can exercise any jurisdiction over the deposit of refuse in the sea outside the three-mile limit?

Mr. ROBERTSON

I am not aware that any case in which the question of the jurisdiction of the Board of Trade to regulate or prohibit the deposit of refuse in the sea outside the three mile limit has arisen, but if the hon. and gallant Member has any special case in mind, and will give me particulars, I shall be glad to look into it.
